- lyrics for what seems to be new song titled Mad World revealed on LINE/Instagram/Twitter, teasing song titles as she did for sixxxxxx last year so we should expect more in the coming days (4/30)
I actually just translated her part about the tour:
"I’ll be singing some songs which I haven’t sung in a while in this year’s tour MADE IN JAPAN. My staff and dancers were surprised. I want people to enjoy my tour as entertainment as always, of course. But I think this show also has aspects that will make people — even those who aren’t fans or don’t know my music — understand each other, reminding them: “That’s right. Our Japan is like this. That’s what great about Japan.” It’s weird nowadays, right? Things like bashing certain people anonymously online. It’s really weird and it’s getting worse. I think everybody feels this. The abnormality of thinking: “I won’t let someone else be happy!”. That side is also one of the tour’s themes — Like the album I’m working on, the tour is straightforward and frank in various ways. But I think that suits the current me."

Also, the interview does NOT mention a release date, nor does it mention she will perform b-sides. It just says: "some songs which she hasn’t sung in a while".

Portion of the new interview for Numero mentioned that the new album is titled MADE IN JAPAN. The concept is also laid out roughly and apparently should follow the vibe of the tour which will have a LOT of unperformed stuff or things that have not been performed in years but I'm not 100% on it.
Some theories are that a previously unknown (in Japan?) DJ and foreign producers may be working on tracks. Afrojack? However, I'm not sure where the theory is coming from since I don't see much about that in the interview shown.
Tentative release date is July 13th mentioned, but I didn't see it in the article. NOT in article. Not true.
Seems people are expecting A ONE 2.0 from her answers in the interview.
My current theory is that the inner booklet photos are the photos from the magazine since this was all revealed. However, I don't think the cover was revealed.
